Historic Wins for Police Ladies and Faith Ladies in Ghanaian Women’s Football
A thrilling day of women’s football saw two remarkable achievements as Police Ladies clinched their first-ever Malta Guinness Women’s Premier League title, while Faith Ladies secured a dramatic victory in the Women’s FA Cup final.
In a rainy showdown at the University of Ghana Stadium, Police Ladies defeated Ampem Darkoa Ladies 2-0 to claim the league title. Jane Ayieyam opened the scoring in the 27th minute, capitalizing on a dominant first-half performance.
Victoria Teye Williams sealed the victory with a late goal in the 89th minute, marking a significant milestone for Police Ladies and ending Ampem Darkoa’s dominance in the league. This victory not only earns them the league trophy but also a place in next season’s CAF Women’s Champions League.
Meanwhile, in the Women’s FA Cup final, Faith Ladies triumphed over Jonina Ladies in an exhilarating 2-1 extra-time victory. After a tense 90 minutes that ended 0-0, the match came alive in extra time.
Joyce Atimbila put Jonina Ladies ahead in the 97th minute, but Faith Ladies’ Erica Obeng Apreku quickly equalized just a minute later. Apreku struck again in the 112th minute, securing the victory and the FA Cup trophy for her team.
